Start your engines: Carhenge roars back into Glastonbury for 2025!

Glastonbury’s wildest monument is back — and it’s bigger, bolder, and louder than ever. Yes, Carhenge returns to Worthy Farm this summer, celebrating a whopping 40 years since Joe Rush and the Mutoid Waste Company first rolled onto site and rewrote the rules of festival art, music and general mayhem.

You’ll find the mighty Carhenge standing proud at William’s Green — a jaw-dropping circle of 24 twisted, mutated vintage cars standing tall like ancient stones. Each one’s a tribute to the legends and rebels of rock ‘n’ roll, and this year includes a poignant new addition: a tribute to The Prodigy’s iconic frontman Keith Flint, ahead of the band’s much-anticipated Sunday night set on The Other Stage. Expect something loud, beautiful, and full of attitude – just like the man himself.

But Carhenge isn’t just for staring at (though you will stare – it’s massive). It’s a 24/7 creative vortex of music, performance and underground energy. Whatever the hour, something’s kicking off at the ‘henge.

•  First up, we’ve got the Fireball Sessions, the explosive jam series masterminded by drummer and musical genius MckNasty. It’s a genre-melting celebration of Black music, where big names and fresh new voices collide in unpredictable, high-voltage performances. Expect soul, hip-hop, funk, and more, with zero rules and maximum vibe.
•  From Finland, the brilliant chaos of US (yep, that’s their name) crashes in with raw garage rock and swaggering R’n’B, fresh off the road with Electric Six. If that’s not enough noise for you, Cam Cole – the grunge-blues one-man machine – is back, banging out his thunderous street-born sounds.
•  Returning too is percussion wizard Jo Bucket, bringing his buckets, beats, and boundless energy. And for pure joy, the Notting Hill Carnival crew are back for a fourth year, lighting up the site with their vibrant parades, steel drums, costumes and all the Carnival magic they can carry.
•  New for 2025 is a Busker’s Stage, celebrating grassroots music with a curated daily line-up of travelling players and street performers. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s where some of the weekend’s most unexpected musical moments will happen.

And when the live action pauses? The sound keeps rolling. Carhenge becomes an immersive sonic experience, where ambient soundscapes, spoken word, and memory weave together to honour the counterculture legends celebrated in each twisted car-stone.

Joe Rush has been bending Glastonbury’s reality since 1985, with creations like the Pyramid’s fiery phoenix in 2013, Cineramageddon, the Unfairground, and Glastonbury-on-Sea. Carhenge is his latest masterpiece – a mechanical monument to rebellion, memory, and the music that moves us.

 So come by day or night. Dance, listen, stare, and soak it all in. Carhenge is back, and it’s going to be glorious.
